Programs Offered

Juris Doctor (J.D.)

Faulkner Law prepares students to practice law with purpose, but we know that our students’ paths to practice may differ. That is why we offer two main degree programs to better accommodate the unique educational goals of our students.

LL.M. (MASTER OF LAWS) IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION Individuals eligible for matriculation include the following:
Individuals who have earned a J.D. from an ABA accredited law school or who have earned the first degree of law required for law practice or law teaching (for those who earned the first last degree outside of the United States); or
Students currently enrolled in Faulkner Law’s J.D. program. Under section 5-202, up to 12 credits earned in J.D. studies may be credited to the LL.M.

Faulkner Law offers two scheduling options:

Full-time J.D. Schedule

A full load of on-campus, weekday classes over three years. Reduced course load options are available.

Executive J.D. Schedule

Reduced load of blended classes over four years. Blended classes will meet on campus every other weekend on Friday evenings and Saturdays and will have an asynchronous distance education component during the week.

Joint J.D./LL.M. in Dispute Resolution

Joint J.D./LL.M. in Dispute Resolution – This joint degree program is designed to permit students to complete both the J.D. and LL.M. degrees in the same three years it normally takes to earn the J.D. Faulkner Law students can apply up to 12 credit hours towards both degrees (a total of 100 credit hours is required to graduate). If you already have your J.D. you can earn the 24-credit hour LL.M. degree full-time, or part-time over a maximum of five years.
